What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the decking for its stunning appearance, realistic grain, and durable construction. The Island Mist color is frequently highlighted as beautiful and coastal, with many noting the material feels heavy and solid, maintaining its finish after years of use. The hidden fastener system earns appreciation for its clean look and ease of installation. A few customers report minor issues like warping or surface scratches on individual boards, and some note the material retains heat in direct sunlight. Despite these minor concerns, most reviewers consider the product excellent value and highly recommend it.

Samples are very helpful

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samples were ordered to use in deck planning with my design clients. Trex is a great product. Appreciate being able to order samples so clients can see actual finish choices.

Love Trex

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my Trex - Transcend 1 ft Sample - Island Mist it is a beautiful mix of grays. Being from a construction family who built decks using only Trex and have trex on our own deck i know the beauty and durability of this product. Trex boards out weigh traditional wood deck boards hands down.

Excellent Deck Sample!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an excellent deck sample and I sincerely love the aesthetic texture of it. It's only a 1 feet sample item but the product can be used in a variety of ways. I'm currently using it as a small shelf space item on my wall. It can hold small books and other treasured items. It is not large enough or sturdy enough to hold televisions or full-size stereo systems but it can hold small computer speakers. The nature of this material is faux wood....

More cons than pro.

Would Not Recommend

As beautiful as this product is in the beginning, it's not worth it in the end. If you are worried about scratches and stains, yes, this product will indeed scratch and stain. Yes, there is maintenance required on this product to keep it looking nice but once you scratch it or it gets stained, you are stuck with it unless you replace it. Not a simple case of going back over it with stain or using a wood filler or something of that nature. If you have used the hidden fastener system, be prepared ...

Beautiful, Strong, and Long Lasting!

Built my back deck with the entire Trex Transcend Composite Deck Boards! It looks beautiful and the best part is the hidden hardware. There are no nail/screw holes showing because the hardware fits within the grooves! I can also put full faith in the longevity of the deck because I know the composite material wont rot! Would buy again and I recommend it to anyone else who wants a high quality deck!

But nobody said.......

Would Recommend

Probably the best deck boards available on the market. I refurbished an existing upper deck and built another directly beneath, both about 12'x24'. Both decks have two "double picture frame" layout (didn't want any butt joints). My upper deck has been down for about three years with no fading or failure issues. Overall very pleased with outcome but..... What nobody told me: *12ft boards are 5.5" wide and 12'1.5" long. That length info would have been beneficial had I known in advance. *All...

Great Product

Would Recommend

I have a 1200 square foot deck that I am redoing in sections with the Trex Trancend Island Mist. Similar to other composite products I have to work with the temperature and direct sun light have an impact on the length and even the width. Once you know this you work around it and it works. Very happy with final look of this product. Our front porch is the same material and it is holding up perfectly.

Better than wood
